    Question Cycles Getting Shorter and Shorter...

    DS is almost 1 and I've had about 7 cycles since AF returned:

    32 days (this is what my cycle was before I fell pregnant)
    32 days
    32 days
    32 days
    30 days
    28 days
    26 days

    I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis but my thyroid function has since returned to normal.

    What is the optimal cycle length? I'm under the impression that your LP needs to be of a certain length for implantation to occurr.

    Any ideas would be most welcome!

    26 is still ok.
    i think it depends on how long af stays for and when you ovulate, as ovulation day changes each cycle in some people.

    so as long as your lp phase is 10-16 days long your right.

    I have AF for no longer than 5 days. It is WAY heavier now than before I had DS. I usually O between CD16 - 18.
